Pros

Compensation is above industry average. Great training department. Awards programs create a healthy competition. Majority of communities are quality assets.

Cons

One thing the Red Queen loves is red tape, and at AMLI you will a lot. There is a significant disconnect between senior management and onsite operations staff. A lot of time is wasted on unimportant details. National Property Tours are an absolute joke. Senior management should just show up. Even some of the VPs refer to it as a dog and pony show.

AMLI offers great training in an innovative and competitive environment. Pay is fair but benefits, commissions, and bonus potential makes it a very comfortable living.

Cons

Those who are averse to change may not enjoy working here. AMLI is constantly upgrading and making changes.
